## Overview

In this full day of training, we’ll start with the very basics and learn how to orchestrate your Azure data platform from start to finish. You will learn how to build out Azure control flow and data flow components as processing pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics. We’ll start by covering the fundamentals within the resources and together build out pipelines that ingest data from local source systems, transform and serve it to consumers. We’ll then continue taking an end-to-end look at our Azure integration pipeline tools within highly scalable cloud native architectures, dealing with triggering, monitoring, dynamic pipeline content as well as CI/CD practices. Start the day knowing nothing about Azure Data Integration pipelines and leave with the knowledge, slides, demos, and code to apply these resources in your role as a data engineering professional.
